When I attempt to update the Deployment Share, I encounter the following error messages:

The error messages indicate that the system cannot find the specified path and that DISM is unable to set the system root for the Windows PE image. As a result, the update process for both the x86 and x64 platforms cannot continue.
What steps can I take to resolve this issue?
Hi, @Nico0309
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
Maybe the "system root" error is caused by antivirus software preventing access to the files. Please disable the antivirus software and restart your MDT server to have a try. Similar thread for your reference:

By the way, what version of MDT and Windows ADK you are using? Have you uninstalled the Windows ADK and WinPE add-on, and then install the latest version of Windows ADK and WinPE add-on?
